Women Only NPQH cohort

Are you, or do you know, a talented female senior leader, looking for support and development towards your first Headship post? Would you like the chance to explore this next stage in your career as part of a supportive group of female leaders?

#WomenEd are working in partnership with Ambition School Leadership and the Leading Women’s Alliance to offer a women-only cohort of Ambition’s Headship Programme (with NPQH), with the aim of addressing the under-representation of women in headship positions in schools serving disadvantaged children and their communities.

A unique opportunity for talented female leaders to gain the NPQH alongside extensive additional career support and coaching, drawing on the leadership development expertise of national charity Ambition School Leadership.

The women-only cohort will be delivered by specially-selected facilitators and keynote speakers, who will help to address issues often cited by women as barriers to progression, exploring topics including navigating gender dynamics, authentic leadership, the importance of role models and networks, and flexible working opportunities.

As well as personalised and tailored support from Ambition’s Headship team, participants will build a supportive national peer network to draw on far beyond the programme.

If you know someone who you think would relish this opportunity, do send them this information with your personal encouragement to apply – we know that the support of our community is crucial in enabling us all to be 10% braver.
